A Stayer Groadinger UG is a gravel bike built for adventure-groading and fast off-roadin’.
The UG is a lightweight steel fun bike designed specifically with the ‘road-to-gravel-to-gnar’ ratio found most often when gravel riding in the UK. This do-it-all gravelling adventure-ready frame set is for 1X or 2X and a carbon or steel fork for packing up or packing light but never packing in.
With clearance for maHOOsive 2.1inch tires (650b wheels) or 45x700c, our UG (yoo-gee) frame has been tested in serious ultraGRoadie and ultragrav scenarios, as well as standing its ground as a bonafide ultraRoadie. It’s as full on an Ultra G bike as you could wish for or ever hope to need.
Katherine Moore writing for Advntr.cc said “Simply put, it’s a classic.”, Cycling News similarly gave it 5/5 with Mildred Locke saying
“It’s difficult to put into words how much I adore this bike without my review reading like a love letter.”
Check out the full reviews below to hear more about what the fine folks in the cycling press think about the UG.
Available in your choice of house finishes or your own ‘any colour RAL’ or ready to paint options. As close as you can come to a full custom frame without joining the deep dive waiting list. And most importantly trying to take the waiting and not knowing out of ordering a handmade bike frame.
Whatever speed you ride a Stayer frame it is made to last by folks who know bikes and how to put them together and are also – quite fortuitously – the folks who you talk to when you get in touch to ask questions or to place an order. Designed, made, sold, marketed and most importantly ridden by the Stayer Workshop in East London. We are bike makers and we ride and sell our own stuff and are pretty chuffed about it!
Choose your frame size, gear and brake routing options and finish and secure your frame with a deposit of £1000*. Wheel bundle and full bikes build options are available, just mention you would like this addition in the order notes and see the further info further down the page.
Frame-building for this batch commences MARCH 27th 2023. Delivery expected end of April / beginning of May for preorderers.
*The remainder is payable on completion of your frame and prior to shipping. Any additional costs for full bike or wheel bundle builds will be charged separately and are payable at the point of order. If you are outside of the UK you will be charged the full price exclusive of UK VAT but you should expect your country’s sales tax to be charged on import.

Thus follows the geo chart for standard sizes as well as a separate sizing guide chart to suggest stuff like a guide stem length and saddle height etc for each size. If you are still befuddled after these numbers then either drop us a line or have a think about if you land between sizes – everyone is different – in which case maybe a conversation about a custom build might be an idea.
It is always worth chatting to a fitter if you are thinking about a custom size bike – there are many good ones but the most important is to find someone you feel will listen to what you want out of a bike rather than just tell you what you need. There is nothing quite like a personally fitted machine but also it could be the case that with good fitting and parts choices you will sit nicely on something off the peg so don’t despair if it initially seems confusing or not quite right. Get in touch if you are unsure and we will try to point you in the right direction.
If you are also in search of wheels for your new Stayer Groadginer UG frame set you will be pleased as punch to know that we offer £100 off against a purchase of handbuilt Stayer carbon wheels and your further investment in our company. Check out all the specs and options here – Gravel Adventure Wheelset and get in touch for pricing and availability either via the comment section of the order form or by emailing directly to contact@stayercycles.com.
There really is no better upgrade to a bike than a hand built and balanced set of wheels. Add to that a one to one service from the Stayer builders and a true and spoke replacement policy for any non crash related issues, we believe you will experience the full force of the master wheel builder small business feels from your new set of Stayer wheels.
You can also order your Stayer UG frame as a fully built bike! We have three bike build packages below for your UG frameset. Have a look at the prices and components and get in touch if you are interested or say at the point of ordering and we will sort it out. These prices are limited to these builds. We can also help you with a custom build or putting your bike together with some bits you already have but we will price separately for this as the organisation and sourcing parts is no small task. We are also very keen to work with your LBS so ask about this if you’re into a full bike build.
